Hotel La Badia

Hotel La Badia is a three-star hotel at Via Nastro Verde 8, on the hillside above Sorrento in Campania, Italy, about two kilometres from the town centre. Via Nastro Verde is the winding road that climbs toward the Sorrento peninsula's heights, so the hotel enjoys a quieter, greener setting than the town's central streets, with views over the Gulf of Naples and toward Capri. The trade-off is distance: Piazza Tasso, the Circumvesuviana station and the old town are not within an easy walk, so guests typically rely on taxis, local buses or their own car. Free parking is a genuine advantage in a town where parking is scarce and expensive. Rates start from about EUR 151 (roughly USD 174) per night. Accommodation consists of Double Rooms and sea-view rooms with a balcony or terrace, plus rooms looking over the garden, all with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The leisure facilities are the main draw: an outdoor swimming pool set among gardens, a sun terrace with solarium and a sea-view terrace for sunset. Breakfast is normally provided, and guests who want dinner usually head down to Sorrento's restaurants or look for trattorias in the surrounding hills. The service character is that of a modest, welcoming hotel suited to couples, families and drivers who value a peaceful base with a pool at a moderate price rather than a town-centre location. It is a practical choice for travellers exploring the peninsula by car, with the Amalfi Coast road, Massa Lubrense and the ferries at Marina Piccola all within a short drive. Visitors should confirm pool opening dates and any shuttle options with the hotel, since these can be seasonal.
